Mahou Tsukai ni Taisetsu na Koto - Series Review

Tonight I finished up watching Mahou Tsukai ni Taisetsu na Koto. It's definitely one of the nicest, mellowest anime shows I've ever watched. It's about a teenage girl who is an apprentice mage. The show takes place in a modern world where mages exist, but they report to a central agency. When someone wants magic done, they submit an application that explains what they want and it is assigned to a mage. The show follows Yume through her summer apprenticeship, where she learns a great deal about being a mage (despite some mis-steps along the way). There really isn't a lot of action or adventure going on here. It's a short simple show. I'm sure some might find it a little bit boring, but I really enjoyed it as a nice change of pace (especially after the nonstop action of the second half of Kiddy Grade).
